Here we are June 23 and for the last few weeks it has been getting moody. So strange where sometimes it lacks the grunt to turn the engine over on one turn. Wait a moment and it turns right over.

Today running erands. Pull up at one shop and leave. All good. Fast start. Stop at next and go to leave. Dead, dead, dead. 3 turns and won't even turn over. Try again and it slowly turns enough to fire up. I don't know how it will go from here..

But for a battery with a 40 month warranty, getting 9 months out of it is pretty crap.

I'll throw the multimeter over it and see whats happening if I can get home after work today.

Not really impressed aye!~

Sounds like intermittent electrical problem, checked engine and body earths plus starter motor positive terminal to make sure none are loose?

Get battery out of car, charge up and get it load tested with carbon pile load tester, not the electronic job. It simulates the load of the starter motor on the battery.
